The original energy drink was founded in Thailand with the intention of combating mental and physical fatigue. The drink has been popular with students and young people as a high boost of caffeine and is a common ingredient in mixed drinks throughout the US. The content is mainly caffeine and sugar and taurine, a common acid found in many animals.

I could REAAALLY go for one of these right now!

Among the various drinks available in what i call they 'hyper-expensive' soft-drink market, I feel a little better choosing Red Bull  when parting with my hard-earned cash because I know some of it is finding its way into almost every variety of professional sports, from soccer to Formula 1. Who knows where the other competing manufacturers are blowing their sizeable profits.

The wikipedia entry on Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz is a fascinating story of wild business success!

I actually like the syropy-sweet taste of Redbull...but not the hangover the next day.. Now that Erik has referred to it as 'bull teste juice' lol, I dont think I will be having pleasant thoughts next time I suck one back. The Redbull story is an awesome business story to boot, one of my favorites!

It's delicious. It's sweet, with a bit of tartness to balance it out... somewhat reminiscent of SweetTarts, actually. I don't crash at all from caffeine, so I have nothing negative to say about this. Ten out of ten.
